Abstract

Embodiments herein relate to a computer-implemented technique that includes generating, in a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), a first graphical element related to reflection seismic data of an area of interest. The technique further includes generating, in a second portion of the GUI, a second graphical element related to well structural data of the area of interest. The technique further includes generating, in a third portion of the GUI, a third graphical element that is based on the reflection seismic data and the well structural data. In embodiments, an alteration of the first graphical element or the second graphical element results in a concurrent alteration of the third graphical element. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method comprising:
 generating, in a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI), a first graphical element related to reflection seismic data of an area of interest; 
 generating, in a second portion of the GUI, a second graphical element related to well structural data-representing a structural orientation of the area of interest; and 
 generating, in a third portion of the GUI, a third graphical element that is based on the reflection seismic data and the well structural data; 
 wherein an alteration of the first graphical element or the second graphical element results in a concurrent alteration of the third graphical element. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first graphical element is related to a depth map that is derived from the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the third graphical element is based on a comparison of a structural depth or orientation of the depth map and a geological layer of the well structural data. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the well structural data is based on a resistivity measurement of a wellbore in the area of interest. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the GUI includes a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter related to the reflection seismic data through the application of generalization filters applied to the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the GUI includes a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter of the well structural data through the application of generalization filters applied to the well structural data. 
     
     
       7. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
 generate, in a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI) that is to be output to a display that is communicatively coupled with the electronic device, a first graphical element related to reflection seismic data of an area of interest; 
 generate, in a second portion of the GUI, a second graphical element related to well structural data representing a structural orientation of the area of interest; and 
 generate, in a third portion of the GUI, a third graphical element that is based on reflection seismic data and the well structural data; 
 wherein an alteration of the first graphical element or the second graphical element results in a concurrent alteration of the third graphical element. 
 
     
     
       8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 7 , wherein the first graphical element is related to a depth map that is derived from the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further to generate, in the first portion of the GUI, a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter of a depth map that is based on the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 9 , wherein the parameter is a length-scale of the depth map. 
     
     
       11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 9 , wherein alteration of the parameter causes the alteration of the first graphical element through the application of generalization filters applied to the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 9 , wherein the user-interactive element is a slider. 
     
     
       13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of  claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further to generate, in the second portion of the GUI, a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter of the well structural data through the application of generalization filters applied to the well structural data. 
     
     
       14. An electronic device comprising:
 one or more processors; 
 a display communicatively coupled with the one or more processors; and 
 one or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
 generate, in a first portion of a graphical user interface (GUI) that is to be output to the display, a first graphical element related to reflection seismic data of an area of interest; 
 generate, in a second portion of the GUI, a second graphical element related to well structural data representing a structural orientation of the area of interest; and 
 generate, in a third portion of the GUI, a third graphical element that is based on reflection seismic data and the well structural data; 
 wherein an alteration of the first graphical element or the second graphical element results in a concurrent alteration of the third graphical element. 
 
 
     
     
       15. The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the well structural data is based on a resistivity measurement of a wellbore in the area of interest. 
     
     
       16. The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further to generate, in the first portion of the GUI, a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter of a depth map that is based on the reflection seismic data. 
     
     
       17. The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the parameter is a length-scale of the depth map. 
     
     
       18. The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein alteration of the parameter causes the alteration of the first graphical element. 
     
     
       19. The electronic device of  claim 16 , wherein the user-interactive element is a slider. 
     
     
       20. The electronic device of  claim 14 , wherein the instructions are further to generate, in the second portion of the GUI, a user-interactive element to adjust a parameter of the well structural data.
